Roman Catholic
Bishops Call For Two Weeks of Action Against Obama

I'll call for as many weeks as it takes to remove him from
office and undo every horrible thing hes done. -Robert Osborne

By Martin Gould

Roman Catholic leaders are calling for two weeks of public
protests against President Barack Obama's policies as they
intensify their argument that the administration is engaged in
a war on religion.

The days between June 21 and July 4 have been set aside by the
U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops which has sought to end
the administration's contraception mandate, among other
policies.

The protests against the Obama administration’s policies could
be “the game-changer” in the presidential election, one
leading lay churchman told Newsmax on Tuesday.

The protests, dubbed “A Fortnight for Freedom” will be an
“unprecedented, aggressive attack” against policies that
church leaders see as an assault on religious freedom, said
Catholic Advocate chairman Deal Hudson.Editor's

“The bishops are seeing – rightly – a pattern of emerging of
hostility towards the Catholic faith for upholding protection
of the life of the unborn and because of its position on
contraception,” said Hudson.

And Bill Donohue, the president of the Catholic League pointed
out to Newsmax that the protests will come around the time the
Supreme Court issues its judgment on the constitutionality of
the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.

Unless the justices throw the act out completely, the protests
could not be timed better, he said.

“If the individual mandate falls and the rest stands it will
be more important than ever for Catholics to step forward and
get involved,” said Donohue. “We will have to make the point
that we are not going anywhere.”

Donohue said the mandate to make insurance companies cover not
only contraceptives but abortion-inducing drugs is the key, he
said. “It was done on purpose as a wedge to open the door. If
we don’t fight it the next step is to force Catholic hospitals
to provide abortion facilities,” he said.

“The idea that I as a Catholic should have to pay for some
woman’s abortion makes me want to reach for the vomit bag.”

Donohue praised the bishops for their proactive stance “if for
no other reason than to make the point that they are furious,”
he said.

“Over the years there have been times when the resolve of the
bishops wasn’t quite what we wanted it to be. Today that
resolve is extremely strong,” he said.

The two weeks of protest has been called by the U.S.
Conference of Catholic Bishops. “That is not the type of body
that goes out of its way to pick a fight,” Catholic Advocate’s
Hudson pointed out.

“That is precisely what makes this so unusual a moment. The
bishops have been provoked to such a degree that they will go
to this extreme. They would prefer quiet negotiations leading
to a principled compromise, instead they are talking about the
probability of civil disobedience.”

Republicans are hoping the protests, planned for June and July
will have a major bearing on the election which will follow
four months later. They look forward to TV shots of robed
priests and nuns being led away in handcuffs.

“These would be devastating images for the Obama
administration,” GOP strategist Ron Bonjean told The Hill.
“You have a very important religious demographic coming out in
protest of Obama’s policies and being arrested for their
expression.”

And Hudson agreed. When asked if the protests could be a
game-changer come election time, he responded. “Potentially it
could be the game-changer.

“It is a mistake to prognosticate with certainty this far out
from the election, but two weeks of protest in mid-summer will
help put this before the conventions and make it a major issue
in the campaign.”

Hudson said Catholic Advocate has already been working in
battleground states including Iowa, Ohio, North Carolina and
Pennsylvania to get its message across and is about to start
work in New Mexico.

“At one meeting in Des Moines, we had about 80 people and one
guy sat in the corner and at the end he raised his hand and
said he had been a life-long social justice Catholic – so I
was getting ready for the big smackdown on all the stuff we
had been doing.

“But he said, ‘I’ve just had it with Obama.’ That was a moment
that really got my attention.”

The bishops outlined their plan in an April 12 statement
signed by Conference general secretary, Msgr. Ronny Jenkins.
The statement entitled “Our First, Most Cherished Liberty” was
drawn up by the ad hoc committee for religious liberty, which
includes 11 bishop members including Archbishop of Washington
Cardinal Donald Wuerl, one of Obama’s fiercest critics in the
church.

They called on fellow bishops to focus “all the energies the
Catholic community can muster” to arrange special events to
highlight the importance of defending religious liberty.

The dates were picked to run from the feast day of martyrs St.
John Fisher and St. Thomas More to Independence Day. “This
special period of prayer, study, catechesis, and public action
would emphasize both our Christian and American heritage of
liberty,” the bishops said.

“Dioceses and parishes around the country could choose a date
in that period for special events that would constitute a
great national campaign of teaching and witness for religious
liberty.”

It referred to the mandate that church-affiliated
organizations such as hospitals, schools and universities
would have to provide contraceptive coverage in their
employees’ insurance policies as well as state and local moves
that the church says affects its freedom.

“Religious liberty is not only about our ability to go to Mass
on Sunday or pray the Rosary at home,” the statement said. “It
is about whether we can make our contribution to the common
good of all Americans. Can we do the good works our faith
calls us to do, without having to compromise that very same
faith?

“What is at stake is whether America will continue to have a
free, creative, and robust civil society—or whether the state
alone will determine who gets to contribute to the common
good, and how they get to do it.”

Hudson said that in many ways the statement itself is more
important than the two weeks of action, but he accepted it
would not get as much publicity.

“This is not something to get giddy about,” he said. “It would
be sad if it came to priests or lay people or bishops being
led away in handcuffs. What could be a sadder moment in the
history of our nation than to see Catholics arrested for
simply refusing to compromise on a central moral principle of
their faith?”

something else we wish to warn you about.

article below entitled "The
purpose for presenting our Daily News section"
Sadly to say, we
take no pleasure in stating that some of the items we post are not from what we
would call true "Christian" organizations. But we post it because it provides
another side of the proverbial story. The Church,
after all, is
supposed to be a temple
for sick souls (sinners) without distinction
between their worse sins or otherwise, but it seems to some organizations that
they say much about others, but fail and refuse to upbraid themselves and their
members for their own sins...)

"Never,
never, never let anyone tell you that, in order to be Orthodox, you must also be
eastern. The West was Orthodox for a thousand years, and her venerable liturgy
is far older than any of her heresies."

Daily News is very important to those who are true Orthodox Catholic Christians.
For without knowing or gaining information for understanding about what is
happening in one's local area and around the world, you could find
yourself faced with denied services in the secular area, lack of income, even
(although it sounds far-fetched) ability to worship openly for the time is not
far off when all will have to decide if they wish to follow the Anti-Christ
through the One World Church and One World Government as prophesied by the
Apocalypse, the Book of Revelation of St. John or follow the faith delivered
once and for all which will cause for many to be denied the abilities to survive
under those kind of conditions, causing for one to consider other options.

Many of those who subscribe to, and some who have caused or are the cause for,
these things to happen are involved in or with the Roman Jurisdiction of the
Catholic Church (which is not the seat of all things "Catholic") as well as its
protestant daughters such as the cultic Jehovah's Witnesses, the Pentecostal
Churches, the Church of Latter Day Saints also known as the Mormon Church and
far too many more to list.

Yet, at this web site we do provide some of the reasons about why they are
opined to be the harbingers of that which is prophesied in Holy Scripture for
the bringing about of the End Times which we have already entered. It is
not necessarily their individual members or parishioners that should be blamed
since they are only the "Sheep" and not the Shepherds... So do not think we
castigate individual people of themselves as we castigate those "money changers"
who Jesus Christ chased out of His Father's House as the Bible Describes; for
they exist in these present times too.

Events are already rushing toward
that time in which this is beginning to happen and will become more fully
wide-spread. In these present times all you need to really do is look around
both your local and larger areas as to what is really on-going through.
Things so very little or miniscule that they are barely noticeable except to the
more informed observer may become apparent.

Those
little things are the laws of the land, economics, politics, the degrading and
erosion of those rights and liberties afforded by the Constitution of these
United States of America and many other things such as the manner with which
entertainments have taken over much of the populace, entering into and becoming
a major focus in worship, and more.

We ask you,
if you don't want to believe us... Have you heard, seen or found what is termed
(of the many terms being used) that there are "holding areas" or "camps" or
"Closed/Fenced communities" being built by GOVERNMENT?

Here in
North America, especially in the United States of America, we must admit that
what Russia has come out of (a communistic, atheist country) we are entering
into. And one last thing that needs also to be understood... Something
very important to those of you who are "Catholic" in the Roman sense of its
jurisdiction.... And, we believe this also holds true for many who
are "Orthodox" whether "Eastern" or "Western"....

Ghost (Spirit) who will depart from you. And when the Holy Spirit departs,
the great deceiver (unbeknownst to you) will rush in to fill the void under
disguise of being the Holy Spirit! Testing of the Holy Spirit to insure it
is the Holy Spirit does not, for many a Sectarian Protestant and Roman, work
because the Great Deceiver (Satan) is most skilled in worming and snaking his
charms around your mind and heart to feign being the Holy Spirit.
Remember, Satan has the same gifts similar to the Holy Spirit but Satan's gifts
are UN-HOLY and lead all who accept him (unbeknownst to you) to perdition.
